Posts for tag: Bill Of Rights

This month we celebrate Independence Day with the usual fireworks and parades, and hopefully spend a little time reflecting on our freedoms. You may remember from U.S. History class that the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution are called "The Bill Of Rights."

Even though The Smile Shack was founded in 1999 – and not 1776! – we believe you have a "Bill Of Rights" too! It's how everyone deserves to be treated in our practice, and we really mean it!
